Would someone just smack me and get it over with..

[lickerish]

I am the biggest idiot sometimes.. pass the dunce cap, please.

I have the worst memory, always have, always will. Tell me your name? I'll forget it 30 seconds later. I try and write an email to a friend who is breaking up with someone? I forget simple words, like 'compromise'. The list goes on and on and on and on....

Okay, so I go to the car last night to get this bag of potatoes. I lock the door, walk into the house, set the potatoes on the floor, and go on about my business.

I freaked out a few hours later because I discovered I couldn't find my car/house keys and I had to be at work in the morning. I TORE UP my house looking for the damn things.. I finally gave up and sat on my bed bawling because this crap just keeps happening to me. Went to bed, woke up this early morning to search some more, couldn't find them.. so I called my dad to "PLEASE come pick me up and take me to work (and drop the kids off at the sitters)?!" (how embarrassing).

Ok, so here I am pissed at the world because I have no freaking clue how I'm going to get to work tomorrow.. I've searched my house up and down the only logical choice left? My car.

I called Pop-a-Lock (for the 5th time this year) & they said they'd send a guy out (same sweet man w/ no fingers on his right hand). He called back to say that he'd be out by 7PM, I told him to take his time- I had all night.. he asked if it would be okay to go home and eat dinner with his wife? I said "not a problem". Guy comes over, unlocks the car in zero seconds, I hand over $41.95.. what do I find? No keys.

I wished him a happy holidays and good evening & tipped him, then went in the house to go blow a gasket.. my six year old says "Mommy? Is that them?" I look up on the kitchen wall to find? My keys hanging on the nail.. right where I left them when I brought in the friggin' potatoes.


Whatever you do? Don't tell my mom.. it took $41.95+ tip to find out my six year old is smarter than me.

*rubbin my hands together*

Bend over baby, I thought you'd never ask!

Don't they say that with old age the mind is the first thing to go??? hehehe *ducks flying potatoes*

 

[Starfish]

*HUG* Lickerish *HUG*


I am right there with you babe. I look in the pantry for an item for 20 minutes, and finally make Dave come in and it was right in front of me the whole time.

I can't find my shoes, and they are right by the door.

It's a good thing that I know right where 'the man in the boat is'.

 

[Siren]

We have all been rthere

 

[lickerish]

SK: You'd better hope not, cuz i'm only 24!!

Fishie, don't even go there with shoes, it's up there on my list. I know where my man in the boat is.. thank gawd!

Pop-a-Lock has me down as a repeat customer! How embarrassin'....

I tried to get an extra set made.. but Wallyhell told me that they don't have anything to replicate my specific set ('01 Kia Rio)


for SK :

Oh licky baby. I don't know whether to.......

laugh or cry at the story. I'm also bad with keys. I usually forget that I've left them in my pocket. I'll search and search just like you. Tearing up the house. Just to find that all I needed to do was just search the pockets of the last pair of pants that I've worn. lol Either that or the kitchen table. It's usually one of those places. So you are not alone Licky. I can hold the dunce cap for a little while lol

Famous quotes from my six year old.

"Mommy put your shoes on its cold."

"No silly, elmo is not a bear, he is an elmo."

"Mommy, THE TOY STORE. YOU PROMISED" said as i drive right by k-b.

I empathize. I seem to have a memory like a gnat. I think its just overload and thank god my kids know i am a dunce. They are patiently educating me to be a big girl.

You sure ain't alone.

 

[lickerish]

The sad thing is, I did this 2 DAYS AGO too... and they, like you kgboot, were in the last pants I wore.

Yeah, was 17 minutes late to work that day for my stupidity, i'm already on written warning

Believe me you, my pants were the first place I looked this time around.

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

Lickerish... If you want to get rid of your troubles...

Ask me about my 'year' you'll be glad looseing your keys is your big problem right now.

anyways I hope things get better for you. *Hugs*

 

[Mr. Bootie]

((( HUGS ))) next time this happens, call on me. Maybe we again left our keys in the same place. lol Just let's not lock them in the car. I've done that also. With the car running. Yipes!! But that's another story. I guess I get to keep the dunce cap huh?

* smack *

...and another ~smackette~ for good measure.

Where were you, lick, when I needed smacking?

 

[lickerish]

i'm sorry you're having a bad year Fly

The keys are the least of my troubles too, it was just my insane moment of the day. Nothing is every boring in my life...


kgbootie my man, i'm up there with you on that one.. I once left my car running, lights on, stereo blasting.. and I was standing on the outside wishing I was in.. all those strangers staring at me like I was a nut!

I can't even begin to tell you all my idiotic stories...

How 'bout we share the dance cap.. you get it every other weekend and on Tuesdays and Thursdays

 

[lickerish]

*rubbing the red handprint on my ass*

sorry Lukky, what did you need smacking for? I'll be glad to return the favor!

 

[LukkyKnight]

a true story

lickerish...

When I was in high school I had a friend who was spoiled rotten. Only child, nice home on a cul-de-sac, dad bought her a car, the whole 9 yards. Because of the shape of the property their garage was a side-entry... so she backs out one day, slips the Dodge into park, and gets out to close the garage door.

Well, ok, so there's a misleading statement in there, but it's her account of it, not mine. There's an omission, too.

She locked the car. So she walks back to it, idling away, and can't get in...

Turns out she didn't put it in park, she left it in R, and it was just on enough of a hill it didn't move right away. But of course, in due time, while she was calling dad or who knows what inside, it did back up, right into the neighbor's house, making one fine mess of the siding.

Try explaining that one to your insurance agent.

 

[LukkyKnight]

I have misplaced my keys a thousand times.

*rubbing the red handprint on my ass*

sorry Lukky, what did you need smacking for? I'll be glad to return the favor!

I may be the only person on the planet who can lose the wire twisty while getting a slice of bread out of the bag.

I'd have been here sooner but I was looking for... oh nevermind. I see it now...

 

[Mr. Bootie]

lol Okay Licky!! You got it?

i'm sorry you're having a bad year Fly

The keys are the least of my troubles too, it was just my insane moment of the day. Nothing is every boring in my life...


kgbootie my man, i'm up there with you on that one.. I once left my car running, lights on, stereo blasting.. and I was standing on the outside wishing I was in.. all those strangers staring at me like I was a nut!

I'll pick it up and drop it off. Hmm??? Do I get to smack your ass also? Yes, you can recipricate. If not, I'll gladly settle for a hug and kiss.

[lickerish]

I shouldn't have read that.. I'll be doing the same thing next, just watch..

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

Oh sorry Lickerish.....
that came out wrong... I ignore what goes on with me

I ment that as a way to forget some of your troubles.
I know what's been going on with you and I"m sorry that you have to go through so much, wish there was somethign I could do.

But talk to me, i'll tell you how things have been going.
you'll see your not alone in the world. there are many people that can relate with you and so many that care for you.

 

[Shy Tall Guy]

Now there is the woman for me! She certainly couldn't complain when I leave the keys in the car with the engine running.

Fortunately, I've been through this all before and I keep a spare in my wallet. The only trouble I have with keys is when I have a rental and therefore don't have a spare - but I haven't done that in over a decade. Most now beep at you when you leave the keys in.

My Tercel for some reason doesn't warn me when I leave the lights on, and I am always running the battery down requiring a jump.

Lickerish, try this on for size if you are still feeling dumb; pop a wheelie through a four way stop light and crash halfway through, holding up rush hour traffic in the middle of a busy intersection (in all four directions) for half an hour, then get taken to the hospital for a crushed foot. Price tag - $7000 (yep, you guessed it, no med insurance), a LOT of pain, and six months rehabilitation.

You got off lightly.

 

[lickerish]

Lukky, you aren't the only one.. i've lost the wire twisty thing too! and the milk cap while swiggin' out of the jug


ok kgbootie, here's the rotation.. *smack* *kiss* *hug*, *smack* *kiss* *hug*... got it?


<snip>there are many people that can relate with you and so many that care for you.</snip>

Fly, darlin'.. I can't tell you how good that made me feel right now, I needed that. Thank you very much. *kisses your cheek softly*

 

[batter]

been there, done that

ever lock your keys in the car....twice...at the same garage.
had the guy come out and open the car the first time, went back into the store and locked the car and had to get the same guy out and do the door again.
i didnt even get out of the parking lot for petes sake!

"No silly, elmo is not a bear, he is an elmo."

Sniff sniff (wipe away a tear). That is cute. Why do kids have to grow up to be teenagers? I miss those days with my kids. Enjoy them while you can.
